Why I Pity the Military Families Who Will Vote Republican


Without a doubt, there will be many military families who blindly vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket because traditionally, military families are a) more conservative b) since Bush, are mainly Republican and c) believe the Republicans are responsible for pay raises. (Don't kill the messenger, I have been told this on a number of occasions from close friends and family in the military.)

Unfortunately for these human lemmings, the Romney/Ryan ticket doesn't value your military service, sacrifice, or quality of life. We learned this during the Republican National Convention when you weren't mentioned once. Not a thank you for your service. Not a shred of remorse for the thousands lost in combat since 2001. Not a prayer. N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

The same party that voted to send your loved ones into war. The same party that started the war on terror over a decade ago.

If it didn't sounds bad enough for these families who have been completely forgotten about, the events of the past week only foreshadow the future if the Republican ticket is elected.

Instead of addressing the horrible act of terrorism in Libya, Mitt Romney used the tragedy, and death of Americans as a political springboard to attack President Obama. Big fail.

Will the Romney campaign promise pay hikes to the military?  He might, if he even remembers them in the next 50 days.

Am I bitter about it? Yes, because my brother was killed in action in November of 2007.
Good luck to any of the military families who vote for these out-of-touch clowns, because you will need it if they are elected.
